ClobberCastAn amateur podcast about professional wrestling.

Maya Hansen, Toben Shelby, and Stevo

Three friends gather on an irregular basis to casually discuss and dissect simulated violence as storytelling in its many forms around the world. WWE, NJPW, PWG, Lucha Underground, Stardom, ROH, CMLL, and whatever else catches our fancy. It ain't ballet, but it is amazing, stupid, hilarious, weird, confusing, and beautiful. It's professional wrestling, and there's nothing quite like it. Let's talk about it.

Maya faces down a “loser leaves down” match. We talk about the conclusion of Lucha Underground’s third (and final?) season, New Japan’s King of Pro Wrestling, the eternal goodness of PWG’s Battle for Los Angeles, Toben’s continuing journey through PROGRESS’ history, and all the news that’s fit to shoot on. See you in the next territory, fellow marks!

G1 Climax 27. The fucking G1. So good. Our favorite matches, MVPs, the death and rebirth of Daryl, the emotional return of Shibata, and more! We also cover all the dumb shit that happened at Summerslam, NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III, new developments from the Mae Young Classic, and a ton of other news from the world of wrestling!

Special guest Russ is back! Him and Stevo went to NJPW’s big debut in the USA, and they lay out their experiences with the ups and downs of live wrestling. It’s also tournament season, as we talk about the lineups and prospects of NJPW’s G1, PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles, WWE’s Mae Young Classic, and more!

Stardom’s Cinderella Tournament, and the dreams within the heart of its winner! The Young Bucks book shit from their YouTube channel way better than Ring of Honor! Wrestling Dontaku was a ton of fun and had some dope matches! Hopefully WWE’s women’s tournament is good! Maya and Toben have serious heat over the single pant-leg look! Our personal entrance music picks, plus some silly fantasy casting of wrestlers in all our favorite movies! (E-mail us more movies you want us to cast!)

Recorded LIVE during the #OctagonKingdom marathon stream, half-dead and running on fumes, our most reasonably-sized episode yet! Special guest Russ joins us to talk about a local wrestling event, the newest events of Stardom, NJPW, and Ring of Honor, along with whatever new dumb shit the WWE is doing!
